Fingers crossed that is has been repaired. Had it in last Friday, but haven't driven at night ye. They reprogrammed the central camera module and ran updates to the system. They also found faults in the cruise control module and reflashed and calibrated it.

Hope you got em fixed. I'm not a fan and don't use it much. Roads are too hilly and curvey so if there is any oncoming traffic they get flashed as the lights are constantly going on and off. meh... I can run the switch.

I've got both deer and elk on my commute so I usually drive 50mph. I hit one deer in the old truck and have had too many close calls that I've lost track. An elk will ruin your day and then some. Looking forward to when the daylight returns. Dark to dark siucks....

Thats about all I could find with the scanner though for a possible issue. It also ties into the front collision avoidance errors and the cruise control module error. At least its a starting point they can work with, so need to get an appointment to have it looked at while still under the warranty.

Good troubleshooting! Hopefully the reprogramming fixed it. I won't say that my auto high beams on my 2017 are perfect, but they work well.

Auto High Beams is a feature I absolutely can not stand. Or any other feature that seems to tell the driver what they should be doing, like lane control, etc.

I'll do the driving, thank you!

SO far so good, worked perfectly on the way home last night, and much faster in detecting, far faster than I could react. They also ignored some side lights that used to disable them.

So I'm in the "I love this" camp on the auto high beams. My truck gets it right 98% of the time. I live in a rural area and I use my bright lights more now because the truck handles it instantly instead of me doing it.

I did experience something new last night and I don't know if the truck was confused or if it was intentional. A car in oncoming traffic had their high beams on. I was going to flash them and then the truck flashed the brights at them on its own. I thought maybe it was a fluke. The person turned their brights off but then I guess they thought mine were on so they turned theirs back on. The truck almost immediately flashed my brights at them again - didn't turn them on, just a momentary flash. The oncoming car turned their brights back off.

Has anyone else experienced this, where your truck courtesy flashes an oncoming car that has their brights in your face? Or was it a fluke?
